With so many girls saying yes, how can one guy say no?

It must be a pretty tough life, what with all the girls competing for Rins affections. Kaedes running herself ragged to keep his belly full and his house clean. Spunky Asa cant keep her hands off him, even if most of the time shes just slapping the poor boy silly. Nerines making omelet after omelet, immensely proud of her first cooking achievement. Sias seeking divine advice and the perfect pair of panties. And the ever silent Primula just stares after Rin with her big, sad eyes. They all have their charms, thats for sure. But summer breaks around the corner and the actions sure to heat up!

An interesting series, to say the least. This science fiction anime continues the story of a present-day Japanese warship and crew mysteriously being transported back in time to the WWII era. I personally like the story and twists in the plot, as well as being able to catch a glimpse of WWII from Japan's perspective.

Zipang is the story of a modern-era Aegis cruiser built by American contractors after the year 2000, in the hands of the Japanese Defense Force, being thrown back in time to 1942, into the midst of the Battle of Midway.Zipang is unusual in Japanime, which is usually rife with action constantly. If you're looking for a Guyver or Gundum, this is not it; in the first four episodes there is exactly one battle, and even in it they do their best NOT to destroy the enemy vessel.The crew of the cruiser are torn between their allegiances, on one hand they were trained to be allies of the American Navy, on the other thousands of Japanese sailors are dying before their eyes.Despite the relative lack of action in this series, it is likely the very best Japanime I have ever experienced. the historical details of the era of WWII are flawless...as are the technical and operational details of how an Aegis class cruiser operates.If you're a fan of both anime and WWII (as I am) this is a total win. Especially if you watch it in the original Japanese voices, (with English subtitles if needed). I say this quite seriously, the Canadian/English voice-cast is the one truly vulgar and broken thing about this series. But that's not the fault of the Japanese writers and animators, who made this one a win.

I needed this to complete my collection. I do not like Vandred all that much but I am a collector of all anime, horror, and u.s. cartoons from the 80's - 2000, it's sort of a hobby of mine. I found this show at a resale shop for $1.00 and needed this to complete the set.

I first saw the manga about 6 years ago in Japan. The video version is fairly true to the spirit of the original. Viewers will really like the accurate depiction of a Japanese Aegis Destroyer in action.

Oh, and the whole time-travel, Modern Japan versus Old Imperial Japan dilemma is interesting as well.
